Meridiani Planum

Meridiani Planum is a plain located 2 degrees south of Mars ' equator (centered at 0°12′N 357°30′E  /  0.2°N 357.5°E  / 0.2; 357.5 ), in the westernmost portion of Terra Meridiani . It hosts a rare occurrence of gray crystalline hematite . On Earth , hematite is often formed in hot springs or in standing pools of water ; therefore, many scientists believe that the hematite at Meridiani Planum may be indicative of ancient hot springs or that the environment contained liquid water. The hematite is part of a layered sedimentary rock formation about 200 to 800 meters thick. Other features of Meridiani Planum include volcanic basalt and impact craters .
